Global Sight Solutions


At the Club’s meeting on 7 November members had a very interesting talk from

John Miles, a Rotarian and local ambassador for Global Sight Solutions

(GSS). John explained that GSS is an avoidable blindness charity, working in

various countries to provide free eye care for some of the world’s poorest.


If the main bread-winner in a family loses their sight and is unable to

work, then the family can very soon find itself with an ever worsening

struggle to put food on the table or keep a roof over its head.


Very often all that is needed is a straightforward cataract operation. GSS

can provide a complete cataract operation service in India, Africa and other

parts of the developing world for just £15!


Global Sight Solutions strives to make blindness history. It’s main focus

is the setting up of Specialist Eye Hospitals in areas of need. It also

invests in Eye Buses to transport patients to the clinics.


It was registered with the charity commission in the 1990’s by members of

Guildford Rotary Club, the aim being to work with Rotary Clubs in the

developing world and together establish financially sustainable eye

hospitals which can provide a full range of eye care, free to the world’s

poorest.
